2014 Chevrolet Impala: check engine light

Filed Sep 20, 2026 · NC

While driving my 2014 Chevrolet Impala Limited Police vehicle, VIN [XXX], the engine unexpectedly shut off. The check engine light illuminated and the vehicle subsequently would crank but would not start normally. A diagnostic scan produced code P069E, Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. After the failure, the vehicle would crank without starting using the normal ignition. The vehicle was towed home. I attempted to start vehicle using the factory remote-start system. It started as normal with the remote-start system, but shut off after a few minutes. I am reporting this because an unexpected engine shutdown while the vehicle is in motion created a safety risk due to the sudden loss of engine power while driving. I found GM service information addressing P069E and fuel pump control-related conditions on 2014 Chevrolet Impala Limited vehicles, including GM bulletin PI1082. However, this VIN does not appear to be included in a recall or repair campaign for this condition. I am requesting that the federal safety agency document and evaluate this incident, including whether similar engine-stall, no-start, fuel pump control module, or P069E complaints have been reported for 2014 Chevrolet Impala Limited vehicles outside any previously identified vehicle population.

On July 11th 2023 I finalized the purchase of a black 2014 Chevy Impala LT at Premiere Auto Solutions LLC. The beginning of the week of July 22nd I started hearing loud noises coming from back tire area. On approximately July 24th, the engine light came on for small Evaporation leak code. Returned back to Premiere Auto and spoke with worker\dealer about situation with the car. Was told by this person after a test drive with him that the back tire noises are normal due to the braking system, and he cleared the engine code from dash panel. Within the next week, back tire noise got worse and engine light came back on along with message to service front camera\side detection system. Car diagnosed by two mechanics for replacement of back rotors\brakes and Evaporation purge valve. Attempted to contact Premiere Auto to no avail. On August 4th the vehicle suffered an electrical failure with total loss of power while driving. On August 7th the car was towed to Bob Johnson Chevrolet at 1271 W. Ridge Rd. Rochester, NY, 14615. The car is still there diagnosed with a shorted wire to the front camera module which renders the car inoperable, and is not covered by the extended warranty.

I have taken it in on several occasions and been told there is no active code. My transmission control module constantly looses communication. Through my research I have found numerous accounts of this part failing and GM not repairing it, nor issuing a safety recall. I took the vehicle in and was told it was a common failure. The failure of this part has put myself and my children in danger, the computer failure causes the car to randomly shift gears while driving jerk violently and completely shut off at times. Currently it is stuck in 1 gear. I am a single parent, I am scared to travel with my children in the car, anywhere including school and medical appointments. This issue happens while driving the vehicle at all speeds including highway speeds. The last time I took it in the dealer stated, the vehicle was not safe to drive they notified my warranty company, which took 2 weeks to look at the vehicle at which time I was told that the fault code was not active but only in the history of the computer and they refused to repair it. Being that this is a known issue by GM I believe a safety recall should be issue before someone is hurt or killed, if they havent been already. The service advisor informed me that they were instructed to clear the codes from my OBD let the car sit and see if the issue returned. This issue has affected multiple GM vehicles yet they refuse to make the repair necessary to make the vehicle safe. questions; 1)TCM fails, yes it is available for inspection. 2) vehicle randomly shifts through gears including park, at all speeds. causing car to jerk violently, shut off or get stuck in 1 gear. It has shut off while traveling at 75 MPH on the high with my children in the car on multiple occasions. 3)yes at covert chevy in hutto, tx. even the service department was scared to drive it. 4) I dont know what the dealer inspected. 5)yes service stabilitrack and power steering and check engine light with code U0101

I was driving straight on freeway at 70mph when "service stabilitrak" "service traction control" and "engine power reduced" showed in my dash as well as check engine light. At the same time the car shifted itself to 3rd gear and reduced speed to 40mph without change in driver input. This resulted in a near accident that would have been fatal. There was a 18 wheeler right behind me who was luckily paying attention and did not crush me when my vehicle did this. I then had to continue down the freeway unable to go beyond 50mph or get out of 3rd gear due to traction control malfunction. I had traction control set to off as I always do, it's not a needed thing living in a dry low elevation environment. If I applied more gas the engine would "bog down" and nearly stall because the computer was limiting speed and gear. I nearly died today because of poor engineering.

I was driving to my sister's house on sept. 27 2020. When my car started making a loud noise from the engine and I noticed the engine light came on. I pulled over called my husband, when he got there he opened the hood and noticed the catalytic converter broke completely off my engine. We managed to get to a friends down the road for the night until we able to get it towed to the dealer's the next day. When I called the and told them what happened they told it was my fault that I must of hit something to make fall off. I do not have any other underneath my car, I tried to tell them this was a safety issue and that I could have possibly burned to death in my own car if I hadn't of pulled over upon hearing...thankfully I was in an area where I could pull over. I did call gm also they to said it was my fault and or weather conditions. I told them it was not my fault I did not hit anything and weather have nothing to do with it, bottom line is that part should have never fallen off to begin with. Because it did fall off I felt it should have been covered under warranty on your website I noticed you already have a primarily investigation going on this matter complaint # pip5419b

Took my vehicle in for its regular oil change. A few days later, the car started driving funny. I notice that when I went to accelerate that the vehicle started shaking. After it happened a few more times within that same week, my check engine light came on. I decided to take it back to the chevy dealership where I had the oil change, not before calling the service dept. Several time in the week to voice my concerns. I was told to bring the vehicle in and have them check my oil level to make sure all was well. I told them what I was experiencing and that the check engine light was on and asked could they re-check my oil level. The service advisor checked and said that the oil was fine. She then suggested that I pay $112.48 dollars for a diagnostic test, because that would be the only way to determine why the check engine light was on. I did! Only for them to tell me that it was p2645 intake rocker arm control circuit solenoid. Then she game me a quote of $407.35 to fix the problem. I was then informed that I had to pay for the part upfront before anything could be done and on top of that, this part was on back-order and that it would take weeks to fill the order. I need to use my vehicle to get around and this was not safe to drive! This was over 2 months ago. I then turned to the internet to do my research only to find out that is a faulty part from the gm manufacture. And gm was not willing to replace the part even after they place this part in my vehicle knowingly that this was a defected part and that down the road it would be faulty, not only in my 2014 but the 2015 chevy impala's and the chevy malibu. This is not right and gm need to correct the problem. I am paying for a car for the last 2 months that I cant even drive! Shameful gm!
